HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) – The Hampton Sheriff’s Office is warning the public of an aggressive phone scam.

According to the HSO, the scammer identifies himself as Sergeant Fuller and insists that there are warrants out for the victim because of missed jury duty. The scammer then tells the victim that in order to avoid an arrest they must purchase money cards to pay fines in excess of $1,000.
